ABSALOM.
Ye priests of Baal, with your screeches wild, Must I then also as a victim fall ?
Have not rny limbs grown crooked, and my eyes Become distorted from the fearful shock Of this fell discord?
DAVID.
Thou blasphemer base ! Mock'st thou the form and stature of thy lord?
ABSALOM.
Now know I how it was with Absalom, When the tree held him prisoner by his hair, And the three darts of Joab pierced his heart.
DAVID.
Thankless ! in truth a second Absalom !
ABSALOM.
I cannot take it ill of Absalo...m, That he against his father did rebel, If David's music was akin to thine.
Dramatic Pieces. 85 DAVID.
It was right touching — E'en the stones would weep.
ABSALOM.
Beware ! the house will fall to pieces soon. Amphion's heavenly music once induced The stones to come together to be built, Whilst ours will loose the very walls and joints.
DAVID.
What see I white there at the window ? look!
Those eyes of fire! hush, hush! she's speak- ing now.
ABSALOM.
Thy lady's cat is mewing her applause, The lady self will hide her in the roof, In terror of the spectres of the night.
